THE END OF A PRETENDER.

1t is not likely we shall hear anything moro
of Green Smith in connection with the lieu
nant-governorship, or as President Of the
Senate, either de jure or de facto. That part
Of the Democratic revolution has been played
out, and Smith is, to all intents and purposes,
functus officio. He knew all the time as Gov.
Gray and the Democratic Senators did, that
Colonel Robertson was fairly elected, and was
the legal and constitutional Lieutenant-gov-
ernor; but it was part of their plan to pre-
vent him from acting as President of the
Senate during the late session, and they did
it. 1t is not easy to see what they gained by
it, or what they accomplished that could not
just as well have been accomplished with
Smith on the floor and Colonel Rob-
received the same number Of votes for Sena-
tor, and his position would have been stronger
than it is now, for if Smith succeeded to
the Office Of Lieutenant governor he had no
| right to vote for Senator. For the rest,
Smiths usurpation has not enabled the Demo
Gratis to control legislation or given them any
political advantage of any kind. It may have
been thought that it was important to have
him in that position to head off and smother
investigations Of the State institutions. He
did all he could in that direction, but it was
not much. In spite of all that he did and
| tried or threatened to do the minority were
able to turn on the light and to make a
record that has gone before the people
showing the utter rottenness of the manage
ment of the State institutions. Smith de-
clared his purpose and showed his anxiety to
| shield his party by sitting investigation, but
he was unable to accomplish much. So that
really an impartial observer can hardly point
out single advantage to his party accruing
from his usurpation. The advantage to him
| personally was the advertisement and noto-
riety. To politician of his kind and caliber,
bsntirely dependent for his success on desper-

More of tho Sulphur Showers.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal
Specimens of the so called Sulphur shower"
decided to be pollen dust by Professor Coulter
was shown to me at Mitchell. Ind, on the 9Th of
March inst, and concluded that the particles
were connections of cedar pollen. YVES on my
way from the gulf coast at the time and had no.
ticed that as far north rs Tennessee the cedar
trees were emitting puffs of yellow dust at every
gust of wind. While was at Bay St Lolis
noted the fact that in the early morning.
when the air was moist, this cedar pollen would
fall to the ground in concretions; but, when tho
sun had dried the air. the pollen was borne away
In yellow cloud In this connection 1t may
not be amss to speak of the beautiful effect Of
this golden dust when it flashes from the green
bouehs like an explosion of dull fire.
No doubt when the weather is favorable tho
pollen is lifted very high and carried long way,
when, if it encounters stratum OF very damp
air, it will absorb moisture, gather into concrc-
tons and fall to the earth.

MAYOR WALcUTT, of Columbus o., is ami
mated by the praiseworthy desire to help
Chicago take care of her Anarchists. On
committing Lucy Parsons to Jail to await the
action of the grand jury he remarked, casu-
ally, that Chicago was better off without any
Anarchist women. 1t is little hard on this
female agitator to be locked up in cell these
merry spring days with nothing more sympa-
her impassioned and incendiary remarks.

INDIANA is SINKING.
Prof johnson, the Canadian Philosopher
Has Been Studying Earth Disturbances.

Hamilton tOnt.) Special
Prof. johnson, the colored philosopher, who
says that thunder. not lightning, kills, has been
studying tho subject OF earthquakes since the
Italian Franco shake. saw him to-day.
The earth, he said, was never before so weak
and fragile as at the present time, and Its huge
ribs of iron were crushed and broken down in
many places. The consequence Of this would
be many violent disturbances, for the interior OF
the earth was filled with molten mass of sui
phur and currents of electricity, and when these
currents got together in good shape there was
going to be trouble
The Professor said he had just returned from
Charleston, S. G.. and after careful examina-
ton of the conditions there, he had ascertained
beyond doubt, that within three years an i'm
mense volcano would break forth right in the
middle Of that city, belchng forth red hot death
and destruction until the end of the world which
wasn't very far off-about the time the Demo
Gratis favor clvil-service reform.
He declared that Indiana had been sinking for
thirty years and was almost ready to go clear
down-somewhere Within twenty years all
the forests would sink out of sight and in their
place would be lakes and inland seas. SO that In
diana. instead of being agricultural, would
become maritime State, a sort of Hoosier
Venice, as it were. This will be tough on Terre
Haute. The sea coast Also he said was sinking
and receding and there going to be trouble
in that vicinity also, for volcanoes were about
to break forth in the bottom of the sea, which
would kill all the fishes and make the water red
hot. Illinois will soon be volcano center.
81 believe said he, that the interior of the
earth is sea of fire and electricity and within
forsy-three years it will explode. 1t can't help
it. because the crust is getting weaker and
weaker every day. Within five years earth
quakes will be much more numerous all over the
country. The flow of natural gas will stop at
Pittsburg and volcanoes break out there"
Following this came a brief dissertation on
meteorological fire. which the reporter found con.
siderable difficulty in following. as it was SO ap.
palliugly scientific. The cause, first, he said,
! was the contact of tho sulphurous gasses with
the electric currents and these became Inter.
nally ignited"
This sort of thing had been going on with
much vigor. and as q result of it, and within
| three years, this country would suffer great
deal from earthquakes Comets would shoot
| across the sky. and millions Of shooting stars;
men would grow sick and fearful and wouldn't
know what to do, and nobody would be safe

The press of the country declines to accept
the scientific Theory that the fall of yellow dust
in Indiana was pollen, but unanimously agree
. phur. The mostfavorabe Representation, based
on this fall, is that it will be followed by great
religious revival. The Journal is inclined to be-
lieve that the dust was pollen, but will not urge
its views to the prejudice Of religious revival

THE Jail officials of Chicago seem to have
been influenced, in some way, into granting
unnecessary privileges to the condemned An
archists After refusing for several weeks to
permit that silly girl, Miss Van Zandt, to see
Mr. Spies, she has at last been allowed to
enter the Jail and talk to him for an hour at
a time. A scandal which should have been
prevented at first by the refusal Of authorities
to issue marriage license, or even earlier, by
forbidding the entrance of strangers into the
presence of the Anarchists, is carried still
further by this concession, and semi official
sanction is given to the matrimonial per-
Torrance. 1t was, perhaps, well enough to
allow Neebe to visit his residence and take a
farewell look at the face of his dead wife,
though this privilege is frequently refused
to convicts guilty Of less Leinous crimes
than that in which Neebe was concerned.
Having taken leave of her, however, no senti-
ment of justice or humanity demanded that
this murderous wretch be granted the further
favor of attending the funeral on Sunday.
and the promise that he can do so looks like a
weak attempt to conciliate q lawless element.
The Jail authorities claim that they do not
wish to appear vindictive by denying the lib
erty to attend; but at this distance it looks as
| if the sheriff and jailers were assuming 8
responsibility and authority that do not be-
long to them.

Extra Liability to Malarial In

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra-liable to
the attacks of mslarial disease. The most
trifling exposure may, under such cOpdi-
tions, infect a system which, If healthy,
would resist the miasmatic taint. The only
way to secure immur ity from malaria in
localities where it is prevalent is to tone
and regulate the system by improving
and giving q wholesome impetus to hillary
secretion. These results are accomplished
by nothing SO effectively as Hostetter's g
